Firebase Auth Setup

In order to test with Firebase Auth, you'll need to create and setup a Firebase project following the instructions here. Then register OpenCircuits as a web app in the console (see here). From there, you should be able to get your Firebase Config which will have the following format:

{
    "apiKey": "<api-key>",
    "authDomain": "<auth-domain>.firebaseapp.com",
    "projectId": "<project-id>",
    "storageBucket": "<storage-domain>.firebasestorage.app",
    "messagingSenderId": "<sender-id>",
    "appId": "<app-id>"
}

You'll then need to take this JSON, run it through a JSON.stringify, and then put it in a .env.production.local in your project's root directory under the OC_FIREBASE_CONFIG key. It's recommended to NOT commit this, although it's client-side so not a security threat if leaked.

To setup Firebase server-side, you must setup the Firebase Admin SDK. You then need to generate and download your private keys following the instructions here.

You can store it in src/secrets, but DO NOT COMMIT it to the repo. You then must add the command-line flag -firebase_config="<path-to-file>" (Note the quotes). If you're using yarn start, you can pass it like: yarn start --extraFlags='-firebase_config="./secrets/firebase.json"' (MUST USE DOUBLE QUOTES FOR firebase_config!)

If this is working properly, clicking "sign in with google" in the "sign-in" pop up and you should be prompted without a window that asks you to sign in with your credentials.
